After clinching their first tournament title in roughly 20 years, the Andes girls suffered a tough week, dropping a 5-4 overtime decision to Jefferson and falling to South Kortright in their last home game of the season.
The Mountaineers posted a convincing 4-0 win over Roscoe in the final game of the round-robin MCS Cohen Classic Tournament in Margaretville on Tuesday to claim the tournament title.
“It was quite satisfying for the girls,” said Co-Head Coach Tom Little. “This is the first tournament the Andes girls have won in 20 years or something like that. They were ecstatic.”

Conventional wisdom says that in sporting events no one goes home happy when two teams play to a tie. That was not the case in South Kortright yesterday when the first place Rams held on to salvage a 1-1 tie against Andes. SK had to breathe a sigh of relief when the final horn sounded after the second overtime period with the score still deadlocked at one. As the regular season winds down, the tie allows the Rams to maintain their one-game advantage over the surging Mountaineers.
